Greeted by a raucous and flamboyantly dressed group of Orientation Leaders waving witty signs and shouting words of welcome, nearly 460 new 51ÁÔÆæ students and their families arrived on College Hill on Aug. 20 to move in and begin Orientation.

In his holiday video this year, President David Wippman ponders what it would have been like to attend 51ÁÔÆæ in the ’70s. With three taps of his red Converse sneakers, his wish comes true, and he’s a student on the Hill. Watch the video to see him travel back in time!

Among its wellness offerings, 51ÁÔÆæ’s Counseling Center teaches students how to cook smart through its Community Pantry.

51ÁÔÆæ students who want to catch a movie, buy groceries, or visit one of Utica’s many restaurants can do that and more, courtesy of the College’s free jitney service.

Every fall, 51ÁÔÆæ’s Outing Club (HOC) sends groups of students to the Adirondack Mountains where they attempt to summit each of the 46 high peaks in one weekend. This year, there were 25 trips and five overnight backpacking trips. Student participants included 40 HOC leaders, 20 shadow leaders (as part of HOC leader training), and 51 hikers for a grand total of 111. This year, 51ÁÔÆæ students summited 39 of the 46 peaks.

From Women in Finance and Aquaponics, to Board Games and Badminton, more than 150 clubs and organizations were represented at the annual Club Fair on Sept. 2 on Dunham Green. Watch the video to see who was there!
